“Allan’s Body Control Pilates Technique is the surest
way I know to get back into shape fast. It gives
maximum effect with minimum effort, and helps
iron out the stresses life inflicts on the back. It ad-
dresses muscles you didn’t even know existed that
help to keep the body toned and fortified."

“This book offers a thorough, in-depth guide to
Pilates exercises.”
“Have you tried every exercise program on the mar-
ket only to quit after the first few lessons? That has
been my experience until two weeks ago when I
began a Pilates course. The instructor uses The
Complete Guide to the Pilates Method as her in-
struction manual....With this book as a reference
guide, I can continue the Pilates exercises at home
and have quit being a quitter.”
—Valerie, Perth, Australia
— Pilates Insight.com
“This is a very comprehensive book. It covers
around 200 Pilates exercises. The introductory
chapters are inspiring especially for anyone who ex-
periences pain. Allen Menezes, the author, experi-
enced a great deal of pain himself and seems to
truly understand how to help people work with and
through their pain. . . . The introduction helps with
an understanding of the method behind the move-
ments and the concluding chapters actually offer
some information that is a must....”
— Pilates Fitness Journal, August 2003
“Simply a great all-around book! I have had back
trouble for about 15 years and within only 3 weeks
of following the teachings of J.H. Pilates I have no-
ticed considerable improvement in mobility, flexi-
bility, and strength. The book has lots of valuable
information over and above the clear description
and illustration of exercises contained within and
makes for very interesting reading even when tak-
ing it easy!”
“A more in-depth book on Pilates that will appeal to
teachers, some excellent information.”
— Bodyline LA
— Graeme, Queensland, Australia
“A n excellent book that presents a wide variety
of Pilates-based exercises, incorporating photo-
graphs with step-by-step instructions, key points,
cautions, and variations. Nicely illustrated with
good photography.”
—Judd Robbins, Director of Central Internet
Resource for Pilates’ Instructors, Studios
and Students (www.bodymind.net)
“I tried Pilates about 1 year ago and absolutely loved
it! I used [this] book which provides lots of great de-
tails and background information essential to get-
ting started.”
